The post office and the store of Noble Max well in the same block at Bowdoiuham, were entered by burglars Friday night. The en trance in both instances was made through the front doors by blowing off the locks. The safe in the post office was blown open by the use of powder or dynamite. A small amount of money was taken. It is thought that the burglars became frightened at some move ments in the next block as they left quite a sum of money in one part of the aafe undis turbed. Ice Houses Burned. Baiui, June 13. The Arctic Ice Company’s houses at Ne quaseet, nine in number, together with a boarding house, stable and work shop were totally destroyed by Are this forenoon. The cause of the fire is unknown. The loss is *35,000; insured for *6000. They were owned by Bath and Ruckport parties. Twelve thousand tons of ice which was in the build ing is probably a]total loss. A Residence Burned. Calais, June 14. Capl Edward Smith’s house at Pembroke, with the entire contents, was burned this morning. Lost #3000; insured for #900. Fatal Accident. Dover, N. H., June 13.

BURKE. A Five Round Context With Burke—The Bouton Mugger Not Defeated. Chicago, June 12. The grand stand at the driving park and about 150 carriages contained over 12.000 persons at 6 14 o’clock this afternoon, when John Burke, “the Irish lad,” weight 170 Jwiunds, entered the ring to face John L. Sul livan, weight 237 pounds, for five rounds, Marquis of Queensbury rules. The appearance of the champion was the signal for an exhibition of considerable en thusiasm, but when the Irish lad walked down the track the crowd rose as one man and cheered. Some little time was lost in arranging the preliminaries and in selecting a referee. At 6.13, when time was called, the champion shook hands with the little man in front of him. A moment later Burke eleverlv dodged a dangerous right handed hit, and gave the champion a rattling blow on the chin with his left. Almost instantly Burke was dealt a heavy blow in the back of his neck, which brought him to bis knees. Before the close of the first round Burke was wildly applauded, on account of several clever taps he managed to get on the champion’s face. The second bout closed without any no ticeable advantage having been gained by either, except for some more of Burke’s left handed play on the champion’s face, during the latter’s recovery from several terrific lunges. The third round was uneventful. At the beginning of the fourth, however, it was apparent the champion had decided that a fifth round would be superfluous. Though Burke was never squarely knocked down, he was four times forced against the ropes, and then fell on his hands and knees. When the men retired to their corners, it was evident that of the two, the champion was the worse winded. In the last round, Burke got in two of his best blows on Sullivan's napk and jaw, but their effect would have scarcely been less no ticeable had they been exerted on a brick wall. The champiqp forced the lightning, as in the fourth round, and althoug a uumber of times he had the Irishman against the ropes and on his knees, he was unable to get in a single efieetive blow, and the match was de cided in his favor, owing to the fact that all of the knockdowns, such as they were, were on his side; otherwise the points were nearly equal.

FROM WASHINGTON. ___ Secretary Graham’s Ideas Concerning the Eligibility of desks in the Class), fled Service for Promotion by the Civil Service Commission—Secretary Bayard Defends His Grandfather. Washington, June 13. In response lo certain inquiries touching the eligibility of clerks in the classified serv ice for promotion. Secretary Graham of the civil service commission, today states that a 8900 clerk who was appointed in August, 1882, without examination, is now eligible for promotion without examination under the civil service rules, and may be promoted to higher positions in the same service without examination, except such as the department itself may require. He also says that a chief clerk or a chief of a division appointed to his position from a fourth class clerkship prior to the passage of the civil service act mav, without violation of that law. be appointed to vacant clerkship in the classified civil serv ice. The commission has repeatedly held that chief clerks and chiefs of divisions, hold ing such positions before the promulgation of the rules, may be appointed to other places within the classified service without examin ations, as the positions held by them were not excepted positions previous to the adop tion of rule 19. A person appointed to any excepted place subsequent to the promulga tion of the rule making it an excepted place cannot, of course, be transferred, promoted or appointed to any other than an excepted plaoe. Washington, June 14.—In the address re cently delivered by Secretary Bayard, be fore the students of Missouri University, he iv reported as having said that when in con sequence of the tie between Jefferson and Burr in the Electoral (College the election de volved upon the House of Representatives, his grandfather, a federalist, instructed by Jefferson, the great chief of federalists, cast his vote for Thomas Jefferson. This statement in the report of what Secretary Bavard said having been denied and sharply criticised, a reporter called at the residence of Secretary Bayard and asked him if he had seen these attacks. “Oh, Yes,” replied the secretary. “I have read them. They were intended as an aitack upon me personally. They are ungenerous and unjust, but Ido not care for that; but that effect, if it should be to call attention to the history of that period, greatly gratifies me. If it shall but be the means of leading my country to learn the lesson of that epoch, I shall count myself fortunate if I have by any means been the cause of that result. Now me tacts are, that having listened on this occasion to the beautiful and glowing eulogy on Thos. Jefferson by Senator Vest, in which between him and Alexander Hamilton was sharply drawn somewhat to the disadvantage of the latter, I rose to speak without the least premeditation and consequently without note. I was glad to hear Jefferson praised, but I thought it ought to be forgotten and ought never to go unacknowledged, that Hamilton, when the occasion arose, was su perior to the party he knew. The character of the nominee of bis partv, of the man, who seven years after was tried for treason, and the country did not know it, he did not pro claim it. This is the point 1 was making: That there was a time when it became the duty of the patriotic men to sacrifice the party for the country, and I was strong in it by the great example of Hamilton. Natur ally I referred to James A. Bayard, for he stood nearer Hamilton's counsel than any other federalist. My crime is that he was my grandtaiher, and now I do not think I said he case bis vote for Jefferson, but whatever I may have said in my address 1 delivered I say now that niv grandfather contributed more than any other man, except Hamilton, to the defeat of Burr and the election of Jef ferson, and that he voted in such a way as to secure that result. I could not have said his vote was positively cast for Jefferson for that would have been an historic error. In the sixth volume of Jefferson’s correspondence are letters in which he urges Bayard to break with the federals and vote for Jefferson and there are extant letters of my grandfather bearing date previous to these letters of Jef ferson in which he declares his intention of doing that very thing." In defending his grandfather's action. Sec retary Bayard said his grandfather declined the appointment to the French mission, be cause to accept an office under Jefferson would impugn the motive which had activated him in securing his election. “I endeavored to wholly banish partisan politics," said the secretary in refereuce to his western trip, “it was simply a visit to the educational centers of the west At Kansas City I was introduced to people in a hearty cordial way by Senator Plumb, and after the banquet Gov. Bobinson, in the course of his remarks, said it was the first time that the people, irre spective of party, had joined hands to receive and welcome a man occupying any official position.” DAMAGES AT *1,000,000. Miss Mary Irene Hoyt Wants Kecompen* sation for Incarceration. New York, June 13 —Miss Mary Irene Hoyt, through her counsel, Gen. B. F. But ler. Gen. Prvor and T. J. Pupignac, has entered suit in the supreme court to recover damages, placed at $1,000,000 from Samuel W. Hoyt, Alfred Hoyt and James W. Jack son, executors of the estate ot the late Jessie Hoyt, Miss Hoyt's father, and also against her cousin Jessie Hoyt; Pr. H. B. Millard,1 Dr. Selden H. Talcott, of the Middletown Insanae Asylum, and I)r. Geo. W. Piilon. Miss Hoyt charges malicious conspiracy and prosecution, and says that the doctors falsely pronounced her insane when her father was on his death bed. that her brothers might the more easily influence the dying man. Miss Hoyt also says that although she was ad judged insane, she was allowed to leave ‘he asylum to testify in the contest over her father’s will. A GOOD SHOT. Theives Attack a Batcher.—One Shot by a Police Officer. New Orlkaks, June 14.—At 2.30 A. M., as James Slaflord, a butcher, was leaving his home be was struck from behind with a slung shot. Stafford being a powerful man he grabbed his assailant, but was finally knocked down. His cries for help brought Officer Duffy to the scene, when Stafford’s assail ants, three in number fled. The officer pur sued them, and caught one, when the others returned and again attacked Stafford with a slung shot and also shot Duffy with a revol ver. Duffy drew bis weapon and fired,killing one man, but the other two escaped by flight. The dead man has been identified as a well known thief named Joe Martin. Staf ford was terribly beaten about the head, but will recover. Duffy’* wound is not consid ered dangerous. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES. Baccalaureate Sermon Before the Senior Claw of Harvard College. Bostos. Jane 14 —The first part of the commencement exercises of the senior class of Harvard College took place this afternoon when Rev. Dr. A. P. Peabody delivered the baccanlereate sermon. Dr. Peabody preached from Nehemiab, v. 2. “Then I consulted with myself.” He could not, he said, in opening think of any more appropriate basis for his remarks than these words of the foremost figure iu Hebrew history, trom the time of Moses to the time of Christ. For the first time his bearers, the graduating class of the college, were to be free from all restraint which their college course had imposed upon them. As they were sli legally free, so in a few days they were all to be absolutely free At such a time, on the threshold of the new life, the best guide for the future was self-reliance. Care should be taken, how ever, that the self-reliance did not become too headstrong. Consultation should be had with those who were worthy of consultation as well alter graduation as before. Still, it should be remembered that while advice could be given, commands could not. It was therefore important to learn to rely on one’s self, to remember the words of Nehmiab and consult with ourself. In the present age, more care should be given to independence in all things. The tendency was to uniform ity. The people in one part of the country became more and more dependent on the customs and manners of the people of an other part. Independence and eccentricity were being rapidly levelled by such inventions at steam engines, telegraph and telephone. Now here was this want of self reliance, this following after manners and fashions, set by a few leaders of society, so manifest as in a col lege community like Harvard. Too often was this tiling looked down upon, not because it was wrong in itself, but because it was fashionable to look down on it. Too often was an offense winked at, not because it was felt to be right, but because the fashion of the day did not condemn it. Under these circumstances it was not sufficient to drift with the current, to do as the rest did. Self reliance must be cultivated. When the course of conduct had to be de termined upon the best authority to consult was self. Conscience was the best judge. It was the voice of God speaking to the hearts of all men. Had the words of the text been “Then I consulted for myself,” continued Dr. Peabody, the above remarks would not have to be changed in anv respect to consult for yourself. The best authority was to con sult with yourself. Each person had the making of his own life in his own hands. It was his duty to decide on his conduct. Each would be influenced with different circum stances each must decide for himself. No rule could be laid down. The beet rule was contained in the words “Then I consulted with myself.” Brown University Exercises. Providence, June 14. Today was given up, at the ancient First Baptist meeting house, to exercises attend ant upon the commencement season of Brown University. In the forenoon, Rev. Thacher Thayer, 1). D., of Newport, delivered the memorial discourse on the life and character of the late Prof. George Ide Chace, from the text Matthew vu 17—“Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit." In the afternoon President C; G. Robinson, D. D., preached the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class, taking for his text, Zion iv 7—“I have tought the good fight.” In the evening, a sermon before the society on missionary inquiry, was delivered by ltev. R. S. McArthur, D. D., of New York. THE CANE OP RIEL. Evidence as to his Insanity Promised.— The Pursuit ol Big Bear. Ottawa. Ont., June 13.—Dr. Fiset who is taking such an active part in raising a fund for Riel’s defence, was a member of the Canadian House of Commons during Mr. McKenzie’s administration. Fiset is not known in Parliament, but is using every ef fort among his old French Canadian col leagues to swell up the defence fund, and to enlist their influence to save Riel’s life. A very prominent French Canadian polititlan, who has up to the present time declined to gave any opinion as to Riel’s guilt, has to day declared his intention of coming forward with proof, which will he claims, remove all doubts of Riel's insanity. The withdrawal of Gen. Middleton from the pursuit of Big Bear has given great dis appointment in government circles here. It appears that, to insure his capture, very large expense will be incurred, as the general tel egraphs that the campaign can only be con-, tinued from this out at a large outlay. The troops have become worn out from continued marching, and if the general is to follow up Big Bear he asks for reinforcements of mounted men acquainted with the country, that troops who have been on active service for the past two months may be relieved. A THRILLING EXPERIENCE. A Propeller Plunge* Into a Bridge at Chicago. Wonderful Escape of Panic stricken People. Chicago, 111., Jnne 13.—7hi* afternoon the propeller William J. Averill of Detroit ran into the State street bridge, which at the time was crowded with a long line of vehicles, including a street car, on which were 12 peo ple, mostly women and children. The crash was terrific, the timbers being splintered and the bridge being forced open. Nearly everybody had got ofl the bridge be fore it began to turn, except the horse car, whose driver urged his team toward the south approach. The passengers jumped from the car in a panic, and escaped unhurt, excepting one lady, who badly sprained her ankle. When the bridge swung open the horses were at the very brink, and they went overboard into the river, slipping through their collars and leaving the car on the bridge. Both horses were rescued. The ac cident which might have resulted in a terri ble catastrophy, was entirely due to the care lessness of the captain of the propeller, as the stop signal was hoisted on the bridge, which was closed only a minute before. Capt. Barley of the propeller places the re sponsibility on his engineer, to whom he claims to have signalled to reverse the en gine. He deposited $5000 with the city authorities, who will propably prosecute him for criminal carelessness, and at all events insist on the payment of damages, which are estimated at about $3000. About a week will elapse before the bridge will again be open for travel. The Bartholdi 8tatae.| New Tobk, June 14. The French man-of-war Isere, with the Bartholdi statue on board, is expected to arrive tomorrow. FOREIGN NEWS THE ENGLISH CR1MS. Russia’s Opinion—Tbe Elections May be Postponed Until Winter. St. Petersbcbo, June 13. Newspapers bere are ol the opinion that the English tories will be compelled to show that they disapprove Gladstone's policy, and ex press the fear that a change in government will be prejudicial to the amicable negotia tions which were pending betweeu the Glad stone government and Russia. The Novo Vremya daily publishes articles expressing fear of fresh disputes with the Cab inet containing the Marquis of Salisbury and Lord Randolph Churchill. London, June 13. The Standard this morning thinks that in the new ministry the Earl of Cornoroon will be foreign minister, Sir Michael Hicks Beach secretary of war, and Wm. Henry Smith, first lord of tbe admiralty. It also thinks that Lord Randolpn Churchill will be offered a high post, but that it is not likely to be that of secretary for Ireland. The Standard says that the general election will probably be postponed until January unless the conserva tives are unable to past the coercion bill and find upon the expiration of the present act in October that they are unable to govern Ire land without a renewal of the act, when they will be compelled to dissolve Parliament. The Times is still opposed to the resignation of the Gladstone ministry, saying that such action is trivial, unpatriotic and unfair to the conservatives. The Times, in an editorial today, says that a manful attempt to deal with the Irish diffi cnlty will show the greatest difference be tween the liberals and the radicals, and the unreality of the distinction except in the names between the moderate liberals and the conservatives. A coalition with the latter, although for special purpose, and although unsuccessful, would pave the way to some more intelligible and real division of the par ties than now exists. Tbe Marquis of Salisbury has decided to form a conservative minisiry, and is in active negotiation with Sir Stafford Northcote, the Duke ot Richmond, and others. Lord Salisbury will come to London tomor row, when a consultation of leading num bers of the conservative party will be held. The Marquis of Salisbury spent Sunday at Hatfield. Upon his arrival in London today he w 11 at once porceed to form a ministry. Lord Salisbury received ovations at vari ous railway stations at which stoppages were made on the journey to Hatfield. His secre tary arrived in London yesterday and visited Sir Stafford Northcote. Terrible Fight. Genoa, June 14 A desperate street fight occurred here today between a procession of clericals and a mob of roughs. Knives, dubs and stones were freely used. One man was killed and manv wounded. DESTRUCTIVE STORM. Great Damage Done ia Iowa—Many Buildings Wrecked and Several Per sona Injured. Des Moines, la., June 13. Today's davelopements show that the storm that visited Iown last night was of marked severity and wide extent. The scene of the greatest destruction is along the west ern border of the State, where the energy of the tornado seemed to centre, and passed up the Missouri river valley. In Pottawattamie county the town of Neolo was badly dam aged, and a large number of farm houses in the vicinity were destroyed. The roof of the deaf and dumb asylum was torn off and car ried 600 feet. The cupola was also torn away, and several other buiidings damaged, inflicting a loss of 920,000. Several build ings were demolished in Omaha. Passing up the river, the storm struck Monona county, and at Whiting blew down many houses and barns, and severely injured Mrs. John Cros by. It tore W. Packard's house to pieces, broke Mrs. Packard's arm and carried her babe, a week old, 200 yards, stripped all its clothing off and left it unhurt. Pour miles north, John Davenport’s house was blown down a«d his wife seriously injured. James Smith, while driving near the lake, was blown into the water with his team. The horses were drowned. Other damage is re ported, but the names are not known. The next serious damage kuown occurred nine miles above Sioux City, across the Dakota line, where a train of the Milwaukee road was blown from the track, wounding several men and demolishing the houses of G. W. Kellogg, G. Fellock, T. M. Malony arid T. Adams. A large number ofbarns and wind mills in the vicinity were wrecked. In Lee county, the extreme southeastern point of the State, bridges were blown from their moor ings, railway tracks washed out and travel seriously interfered with. At Marshalltown which is in Central Iowa, the Christian In-, stitute was unroofed, cars blown from the the track, and the bridges across the Le grand river, was blown awav. The Rock Island round house at the Atlantic t Fort Dodge company's machine shops at Grand Junction, was unroofed. Considerable dam age was done to crops, but at the present time no fatalities have been reported. GEN. GRANT. A Bad Night Passed by the General lie is Growing Weaker. New Yoke, June 14. After I)rs. Douglas, Shradv and Sands had held their usual Sunday consultation at Gen. Grant', house today.

M., and was not suffering today, though feel inf, the heat. Dr. Shrady said the swelling on the outside of the throat had increased and had affected the patient’s voice. Col. Fred Grant, after the consultation, said his father had had a bad night; that the General was growing weaker and his condit ion now seems to be increasing io debility wihout pain. The Colonel added, if possi ble the General would be removed from the city Tuesday of next week. It is earlier than before intended. A Brutal Assault. Jbbset Cirr, June 14.—Two brothers, Wm. and James Cahill, quarrelled over a game of cards last night, when Wm. seized a lighted lamp and dealt his brother a terrible blow on the head, knocking him senseless.

James was taken to the hospital and Wns. was locked up to await the result of bis brother’s injuries. TORTIIHKD AND ROBBED. Masked Bandars Take the Havings ot a Farmer’s Lifetime. PiTTSBrae, Pa., June 13.—Masked men last night entered the house of Leonard Bon ner, a farmer in Baldwin township, and gagged and cruelly tortued the members of his family until Bonner disclosed the hiding place of his money. The victims suffered fearful agony. The robbery was committed in the earlv part of Fridav night and they were not relesed from their boods till this morning at 8 o'clock. The burglars gained ‘an entrance to the place by first killing the watchdog. Mr. Bonner found his bed sur rounded by four masked men. "Get up and tell us where your money it,” said the spokes man, jerking him roughly into a sitting posi tion. Bonner replied that he had no money, and then they pulled him entirely out of bed and told him not to lie or they would blow bis brains out. The sound of his voice awakened his aged mother and two girls, who screamed. Three of the men left Bon ner and silenced the woman by gagging her, and then returned to torture him. He had only his night clothes on, and in this way he was bound tn a chair and gagged. The flame of the lamp was turned up.and it was placed under the chair. The torture was intolerable, and when the fiends saw him suffer for a while, they asked him if he was ready to dis close the hiding place of bis money. He nudded assent, and they pulled tbn lamp from under him and the gag out of his mouth. Bonner told them he had|$1500,the savings of his lifetime, concealed in an old canister in the bedroom cupboard. They took posses sion of the money, securely tied and gagged Bonner again, and then ransacked the house, obtaining about $500 in jewelry. They left the house, leaving Mrs. Bonner, who is over 80 years of age. tied to the bed with her face downward, and with one of her grand daughters on either side of her. The old lady may die of fright and suffering. The country is being scoured tor the robbers. SPARKS.

Thera is a movement in New York to secure a half-holiday for working people on Saturday through the summer months. The Apaches appear to hare evaded the Federal troops. The recent report of the surrender of Geromino is not confirmed. It is now said that the Indians have brok en up into small groups and got over into Mexico. The presumption is that they will there resame their work of massacre and pillage till they are chased back by the Mexican troops. Then they will matte for their reservation again. It remains to be seen whether they will be allowed to return to it as on former occasions, and go unpunished lor their crimes. The testimony in the trial of Buddensiek makes his case look much darker even than the unsworn reports. It was proved Thursday, that the dirt excavated from the cellars was used to make the mortar of the walls. Worse than this, it was shown that Buddensiek was warned on the day the buildings fell that they were likely to fall, and that, in spite of the warning, he kept as many of the men at work as could be induced to continue working. This testimony goes to show that Buddensfek's responsibility for the death of Walter, instead of being merely a general liability for criminal negligence in constructing the buildings, was direct and specific. The people of Montreal are greatly ex asperated by the removal of Mr. Stearns, United States Consul General in that city. On Wednesday a public meeting was held at the City Hall, over which the Mayor presided,every commercial and profession al body being represented. The object of the meeting was to determine how the citizens could host show their apprecia tion of Mr. Stearns and their regret and disgust over his removal. French residents vied with Englishmen and Scotchmen in their expressions ot respest and good will lor a diplomatic officer who had proved him selt to be singularly efficient and had suc ceeded in promoting good feeling between the two countries. One of the speakers, a Canadian Judge, had to use strong if somewhat profane language in order to characterize adequately the president's action in romoving a most excellent and 1 experienced official for the sake of pro viding an office lor a needy and ambitious Western partisan. Mr. Steam’s offensive partisanship tor which he was retired,con- listed in making a journey last November to his homo and voting quietly for the republican candidates. The merchants of Montreal seem to be j seriously exercisod over the question ot canal tolls amt port charges. They claim that there is no chance for their export trade tinder Its present burdens, and de mand of the Government the abolition of tolls on the Welland and St. Lawrence Canals and the reduction ol harbor dues to one-eighth of a oent per ton. Then they think they might have a fair chance in competition with the ports of the United States. The Government, on the other hand, is represented as reluctant to take upon itsell the burden of sustaning the steamship lines, and is hinting that the forwarders ot freight exact unreasonable eharg-s ami -land in the way of the devel oping nt their own business. AH this is but an ittetd -nt in tho contest between in land wa’er routes and railroads. Canada is evidently not reaping tho advantage it expected from the Welland Canal, and it Is doubtful it it would come if Utils were removed. The removal of tolls from the Erie Canal was disappointing in its re sults, and probably the enlargement of that waU'rway. even if done at the expense of the National Government, would be equally so. It is questionable whether. In the keen competition of railway trans portation, internal water lines are to sur vive as a factor in foreign trade. General Grant’* Mementoes.

I A Hckdred Horses Slaughtered ir Makchester. Ekglahd, Daily. [From the Liverpool Courier.] There m»v be people who prefer hone to beef, but, as a point in dispute, a practical step for solving the doubt is being taken in Manchester. A hundred horses are slaugh j tered in that city every week, and cut up and sold as “butchers’ meat.” The trade is car ried on in the poor districts, where the steaks And ready purchasers ranging from 5d. to 8d. per pound. There can be no pretence for saying that the flesh of a healthy horse is not fit for human food. There are epicures who prefer it to the choicest beef, but it has been their rare good fortune to get a “dainty dish” which does not ordinarily come in the market. The question is not whether the flesh is fit to be eaten, but whether a wholesome animal ia killed for sale It will not pay a butcher to bu/ a healthy horse to slaughter and retail at prices lower than ia paid for beef, and it may therefore be safely assumed that the ani mals which And their wav to the shambles are either diseased or so “used up” as to ren der them quite unsuitable for a man’s table. There is no doubt, then, that a cruel fraud is perpetrated upon the buyer of this stuff by the butcher who deals in it, and the only way to check it is by regulating the sale under specific conditions, and this is what they are trying to bring about in Manchester. When the restrictions are enforced it will be inter esting to note whether horse flesh at 8d. per pound can compete wjrh American beef. General Newts.

When you see a trade? advertis ing that he can sell goods at a less price than his competitors because he has small expenses, the question naturally arises, what do his small expenses mean? His small expenses mean First—Small stock. Second—Few clerks, or none. Third—Small business. Consequently he buys his goods in small lots and pays large profits on them, and his customers have got to pay a profit on the large profit he has already paid. A one-horse power engine will not do the work of a twenty-horse power engine, while it takes more fuel to run the larger engine than it does the smaller, the proportion ate expense is much less. The day of small business and large profits is past. The large business, large stock and small profits are what the public demands.—The Fence Cor ner Philosopher. That is what we believe in, and we are prepared to give the public the benefit we derive in buying our goods from first hands in large quantities. The public can rely on always finding a good article at a low price at our store. We believe that we cannot afford to Veil a poor article at any price. We also wish to say that we have an unusually clioice stock of seasonable goods in all departments, which we are pre pared to selI at a small profit. CHAS. H.
